For the music ask thing! 9, 16 and 28

yoo thank you for the ask thing!

9:A song that makes you happy

this is honestly a pretty tough one. songs that i enjoy listening to are like, each and every one of them. but songs that make me happy are few and far between, and are always always linked to very very personal reasons, so even if theyre songs that are meant to make you feel sad it reminds me of happy moments. and gods i dont listen to them often because i am bad(tm) with strong emotions. but i had to get that out the way because little pistol by Mother Mother is meant to be a sad song, but it makes me happy!

16:One of your favorite classical songs

(said it before. im a Jonathon Creek girlie so i have to mention the Danse Macabre, but!) i was gonna say music for a found harmonium by Penguin Cafe Orchestra, but i misclicked when i was gonna relisten to it, and listened to perpetuum mobile by them for the first time. and yes ikik the first time you hear a song itll sound fucking phenomenal but its a new favourite! (also Ever So Blue does great stuff to listen to while studying!)

28:A song by an artist with a voice that you love

god knows im bad at narrowing down lists, so ill just give you a ""short"" list with the song that made me put them on the list. Hayley Heynderickx (the bug collector), The Changing Room (roev sos roev), Odie Leigh (a month or two), Minami (honest diary), Hope Sandoval (paradise circus - Massive Attack), Paris Paloma (Notre Dame), Elizabeth Fraser (sea, swallow me - Cocteau Twins, teardrop - Massive Attack), Tracy Chapman (across the lines), Moses Sumney (bystanders), Gary B.B. Coleman (the sky is crying), Lau Noah (if a tree fell in love with a river), Liana Flores (recently,), Rush (tom sawyer), Beetlebug (hallow's eve masquerade), Johnny Cash (i walk the line, hurt), Poor Man's Poison (stronger than the whiskey), Gwenno (ardamm), Cab Calloway (minnie the moocher), Louis Armstrong (what a wonderful world, st. james infirmary), and this is all i can think of rn. i love love all of those voices for (mostly) different reasons.

but! the ultimate voice for me will always (i.e. right now) be Cy Grant. holy. fucking. shit. his voice is sososososo good. peak. absolute peak shit. its the sorta shit that just hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is perfect perfect for me even if it isnt for others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to The Fifteenth Amendment (1870), Akarova, John Astin, Warren Beatty, Joey Castillo, Tracy Chapman, Eric Clapton, Daisy Coleman, Robbie Coltrane, Miles Davis’s 1970 BITCHES BREW LP, Celine Dion, Graeme Edge, Francisco Goya, MC Hammer, the Jeopardy game show (1964), Norah Jones, Charles Lightroller, Lene Lovich, singer-songwriter Don Malliband, Hayashibara Megumi, Kacey Musgraves’s 2018 GOLDEN HOUR album, Walter Piston’s 1951 4th Symphony, the 1946 Arlen-Mercer musical “St. Louis Woman” w/Pearl Bailey & the Nicholas Brothers, Ximo Tebar, Jay Traynor (Jay & The Americans)—good to have met you, Vincent van Gogh, Randy VanWarmer, (the original) Sonny Boy Williamson, and the great American singer-songwriter Frankie Laine. Born of Italian parents, Laine was influenced by opera and blues, particularly Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong—who Laine called “my idol.” Laine’s early career had many setbacks and let-downs and, after threatening to quit music at least six times. Then in 1946 he was “discovered” by Hoagy Carmichael, which led to Laine’s breakout hit “That’s My Desire” (now a jazz standard). Concurrently he discovered a niche singing in films. 

He signed to Mercury Records, then switched to Columbia, and the hits (and royalty checks) rolled in. He was heralded as an innovator for his unique vocal technique and masculine tone. Like Bessie Smith, Laine’s voice projected and could fill a hall without a microphone. One critic described Laine as “a big lad with steel tonsils who belted out torch blues while stomping his size twelve feet...he owed nothing to Crosby or Sinatra...” In contrast to the smooth balladeer of the era, Laine would bend notes and sing around the chordal context of a note rather than to sing the note straight, and he stressed each rhythmic downbeat. Like Johnnie Ray, Laine was first cast as an R&B/jazz singer and is now regarded as a forerunner of rock & roll, influencing Elvis Presley and Ray Charles (who admitted to mimicking Laine), and Laine was later name-checked by The Beatles. Laine, however, was able to branch out into folk, gospel, pop and, famously, the Cowboy/Western theme songs imbedded in pop culture: “Gunfight at the OK Corral,” “Rawhide,” “3:10 to Yuma,” and many more. His Campbell Soup “Manhandler” commercial hasn’t been on the air for decades, but people are still singing it. In his long career he had more than 70 charted records, 21 gold records, and global sales of over 100 million records. He was still performing at age 93 when he passed away in 2007.

Laine’s 1949 cover of the folk-spiritual “That Lucky Old Sun” became his 5th gold record, perhaps because a lot of working people could relate to it. The lyrics of the song contrast the toil and hardship of the subject’s life with the obliviousness of the natural world. Yet he sees a silver lining and God's deliverance behind it all. Inspired by “Ol’ Man River,” “Lucky Old Sun” was written in 1949 by big band musician Beasley Smith and prolific Tin Pan Alley lyricist Haven Gillespie—who also wrote "You Go To My Head" (another favorite of mine). “Lucky Old Sun” gained presence with me after hearing Brian Wilson's 2007 concept album based on this song. In 2020 I added it to my set list for when I perform in assisted living homes. My arrangement blends the definitive Laine recording with the soul of Louis Armstrong's cover (in 1949 both artists released "competing versions"). Meanwhile, HB Frankie, and thank you for giving us years of amazing songs.

TL;DR - there is no reason for people to be denied gender affirming care.

Image transcript and sources provided below the cut. The sources are academic, but I tried to find ones that are either free to read or that have their results free to read.

"We can't just let people get gender affirming care, they may regret it" is a myth. One study found that those denied access to gender-affirming care suffered from higher rates of depression and anxiety (Owen-Smith et al., 2018). Another study found that the primary causes for any frustrations or dissatisfaction related to gender affirming care originated from people being gate-kept from obtaining gender affirming care and/or doctors not being fully transparent about what the care would entail (Riggs, Coleman, & Due, 2014). "All who sought gender-affirming care reported improved mental health—including depression, anxiety, dissociation, and eating disorders" (Goetz & Arcomano, 2023).

"Once she'd landed the part, he suggested she watch some classic Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy movies such as Woman Of The Year and Without Love that made much of the sexual frisson between the two actors.

'He thought they'd be useful in understanding the rhythm and pace of a relationship between a male and female lead, and they were...'"

(from this great article in the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2301099/Doctor-Who-falling-spell-new-assistant-Jenna-Louise-Coleman.html). It's true, the chemistry between Hepburn and Tracy was really compelling, and I can see why Matt Smith suggested it.

But I'd like to suggest another famous couple that gives me Eleven/Clara vibes--and this couple is English. That's John Steed and Emma Peel, played by Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg. Watch their episodes and you might see a similar vibe going on.

They definitely tended to play it like there was "something going on" between the two characters, much like Smith and Coleman treated Eleven and Clara's relationship. At least, IMHO. ^_^
